Unfortunately I didn't take any of the opening band, We Are Invisible, but if you've been reading long, you'll know I LOVE them!! They were great. There's some photos of them @ the Mezzanine here: http://willotoons.fotki.com/camhsjan/

Black Fiction is a new local band I'm digging. Their lead singer totally trimmed his beard & cut his hair off - he looks like a whole new guy! Their set was great. Jem & Sam liked them, too!

Jem couldn't get into Barbara Steele & I could relate to her disdain. The music seemed cool, like maybe it's great on CD or if we knew the songs already - but the lead singer seemed to be taking himself too seriously or something. All I know is coming off the rockin' opener, We Are Invisible, & the playful 2nd act, Black Fiction - Barbara Steele just wasn't feeling as fun. So Jem took off & Sam & I enjoyed one last drink at the bar. A very fun night.
